vanilla bean
What color is vanilla bean? Thinking of buying this pair of pants online and the color says vanilla bean. Clicking over the name of the color, I see light pink on the screen. But I've been mistaken before (remember dove? ) so I was wondering if anyone would know what color is vanilla bean.
Thank you very mucho. |

That is a dumb color name. Could be they mean kind of off-white? or more of a French Vanilla, maybe? But certainly not pink.
Might be worth a call to customer service. edit: by Googling I found a paint color called vanilla bean that also looked a bit pinkish, but I suspect that it's really more taupe-y. Googling for "Vanilla Bean Pants" found me this really yummy looking recipe ...

Just called the customer service and the sales rep told me it's ivory with yellow undertone. Basically, she did a search in the their site with that color and guessed the color for me. Told me about it so I did the same. Some pix I see pinkish, some I see ivory and one I see taupe. I think I just may have to order the pants home to know its exact color.
Btw, that sauce looks absolutely delish!! |

It may refer to an HTML color: vanilla bean.

Don't buy from them Tulip.
It will encourage their silly colour names. I'm tempted to complain to customer services just on principle.

Call and tell them that if the pants come in an ivory with yellow undertone color, you'll order a pair.
